The forum is set to unite Port Hedland business, community and government representatives from across the region. With real-life case studies and informative panel discussions, we aim to bridge the gap between emerging industry shifts and the capabilities of local businesses, ensuring they are not just informed, but also equipped for growth. It will feature key Hedland leaders and influencers, thoughtfully selected and renowned for their knowledge, expertise and ability to inspire. Local procurement perspectives and exclusive operational updates will also be presented by important contributors to Hedland’s business-scape, including BHP and Town of Port Hedland. The 2024 Hedland Economic Forum will provide an opportunity for big businesses to collaborate with small businesses. Through discussions on local content strategies and partnership frameworks, big businesses can share their vision of inclusive growth and support small business in navigating the evolving business landscape.
